(This post refers to a photo, now seen to the left, that was originally used as the main blog title image. I have since replaced it and so I'm posting the old one here.)
Well, I thought I'd better explain what Gina & I are doing standing in water in the dark.
Let me just say, this was Gina's idea. Just kidding. I think Gina & I did this together on my birthday last year so it would have been June 2008.
I have enjoyed much recreation in the outdoors especially since moving to the Ozarks in 1998. One of the things I have found most exciting is the exploration of the thousands of wild caves in the area. The photo above was taken in Arkansas' longest cave - Fitton Cave. Last time I checked it had 17.5 miles of mapped passage and was still being surveyed. I have led between 20 and 30 trips through this particular cave over the years and about once a year I lead a trip through one of my favorite parts, The Water Passage.
Gina's not naturally into caving but she's been a good sport over the years. She said she actually liked this trip more than many. It certainly was beautiful and we got to see miles of cave. We went with a small group and someone was kind to take this photo. Better look at it good because I'm pretty sure I won't get Gina back there again any time soon.
